Yes diaries are personal and nobody should read another’s journal. But what happens when you die? Is it ok to read a dead persons journals?
And are you prepared to deal with what you may learn from reading these private writings. This is a question you should ask yourself before you get so committed that there is no turning back.
On the other flip of the coin be very careful not to write out of anger. Sometimes the words we use cut like a knife.
As a mother I would never write anything that would intentionally hurt my children, and that is why I don’t understand the logic behind my mother.
Covid changed many lives , include our family. I know my mother did not think that she was going to die sooner then later ,when writing in her journals. I know she thought she could make things right and things would go back to normal . But God and covid had other plans.
Is she on the other side looking unto us and seeing all the pain she caused the people who love her? If we show no regrets while alive ,do we at least feel them when we die? Do we finally see things for how they really are?
At the end of the day….be kind… choice your words wisely. Vent if it makes you feel better but at the end always be thankful and love the people closest to you. Because we never know when our words said or written will be our last ones.
